The apartment was clean. The apartment is indeed close (6 people), but we were all the time on the road and it is sufficient to stay. The clatter of the trains on the Manhattan Bridge did not bother us, though we slept with the windows open. New York happens to be a noisy city. Hot water for showers was always available. Meanwhile, there are two apartment keys. Definitely was living in Chinatown advantageous because you could stock up with drinks in the surrounding supermarkets. The subway was easily accessible.

NYC is always fantastic, the apartment was however not. It was either freezing cold or very warm. It wasn't possible to adjust the heat. 2 out of 6 days there was no hot water at all. No hot water = no shower! Several of the wals was not painted and the sofa was compleatly warren out. Full of holes. The entertains and stears is very dirty and the backyard is best described as slum, with thousands of smoked cigarettes laying among other waste. The worst was however all the bird droppings on old air-conditions hanging from the windows in the backyard . We are talking of years without cleaning. 40 ~ 60 cm high "mountains" of bird droppings. And then on top of that the apartment is approx. 50 meters from Manhattan brigde, with a train passing every 2 minutes, 24/7. You can not belive the noise! Manhattan John (Mike) is a nice guy, but this apartment should newer have been rented out to tourists.

The apartment is equipped the necessary kitchen utensils and new floor covering / interior paint is consistent with renovation, appearance inside clean and tidy. The mattresses must be very old and you hear the springs every time you move in bed. Not used to living in the city the the frequent trains travelling less than a block away on the bridge made sleeping even more difficult. TV reception is poor with an indoor aerial only. Pipes the run from floor to ceiling rattle at times (warm at times ?noise when heating turned on also associated with hissing sound in kitchen). Only one key very difficult with 5 people. Takes a long time to get hot water through the pipes for washing up / shower. (Do not know if any laundry facilities nearby). Need to be fit to carry suitcases up 3 steep flights of stairs.

Reviews for this host's other properties

We've rented holiday apartments in lower Manhattan in most of the last 9 years. I don't think this one is lovely, but I do rate it quite highly. Probably in the top 3.

It compares well on space (all rooms are at least adequately sized), and on its ground floor/rear of building location (NYC walk-ups generally involve a lot of stairs and rooms at the back are usually quieter than those at the front). It is clean, reasonably equipped, and close enough to the Delancy/Essex subway station. The people who run it are pleasant and helpful.

A few easy fixes would improve it. A coat of paint on the walls to conceal the widespread luggage scuffs. The bathroom sink is badly cracked. Strangely, the internal door catches have all been taped over. They still work, except there is no lock on the bathroom door. This could be a problem for some depending on the make up of the party.

I stayed in the room for one week with my mum. The room is small but cozy, and the bed is comfortable. All the house is very clean and the shower is great! The F line of the subway is less than five minutes away, and can take you anywhere. Everything was fine! We were really happy.
